What a joy to look at the front page and see two positive stories! Two teenagers being role models for all of us. One is helping another student to both improve his grades and his chance for being successful in life. How cool is this?

Another is reaching out to help a 10 year old friend in need of financial support for her medical attention. I was at that race and found the whole atmosphere beyond encouraging.

Role models don't have to be adults. What if each of us decided to do one simple act of kindness each day? A big thank you to the teens featured.
